While we're at it we can also make a straight swap Raki for Henderson.

Boateng as only backup is a choice.
If Suarez need to rest or is injured o disqualified, we will play with Leo striker and Coutinho or Malcolm on the wing.
Boateng can play only easy matches in LaLiga, nothing else.
Anyway...for sure we can discuss...
but not in the dramatic way as I read.

When did we buy a striker?
We are discussing prospects like Maxi Gomez, Jovic etc. who are realistic choices not Mbappe or Kane.
Getting mad about transfer discussions in a transfer thread- Edgelord extreme.
We didn't buy a striker...I know it...
I meant that the board has already completed a great midfield and I don't think they want getting rid of Suarez as many users want.
Abow I read Mbappe.

The board should have authorized a 100 mil buy for a striker last summer, how could they not see this coming!

Wow ppl have short memories, we didn't chase Greizmann all of last summer or anything...

Was hoping someone would catch that
Yeah that is why i mentioned 100 mil. Would have been a great buy and we would have a massive (instead of good) lead.

Yep. Dembele would be struggling and Suarez would still miss the chances. Griezmann would help a lot our team play with great defense and good build-up though.

People said Dembele won't bench Coutinho, and yet he did.

Don't know what to think about F.Luis. I've liked him when he was at Deportivo but he had some pretty bad tackles on Messi over the years. He's also been injury prone in last two seasons so what would help us getting him if he would be injured when needed?
If we're looking for veterans with La Liga experience I'd prefer Jaume Costa especially if Villarreal will be relegated. He seems to lose his starting spot to Alfonso Pedraza lately so could consider a move. Or we could even buy Pedraza (his clause is around 20M) though lack of guaranteed playing time could be a problem but I think he could also be used as LW in easier games to get him more minutes.
Alex Moreno (Rayo) is apparently also one of the options we're considering.
I would give Wague a chance.

Not La Liga at present (but developed with Osasuna & Malaga) but I would add Nacho Monreal to the list of vets out of contract who could fill in for the occasional spell for Jordi for 2 years. 22 caps for Spain so I am sure there is some familiarity. Him and Luis have the most big game experience. Don't want to hear the "but he plays for Arsenal and they have a loser mentality" kind of weak argument. He has been one of the better all around players for many years there, and one of the EPLs most complete LBs, and helped than win 3 FA Cups. More winning (and way more European experience) than any of these others except than the 1 year older Felipe Luis.
Wouldn't have a problem with Moreno (25 years old) or Pedraza (21) if either is a willing understudy to Alba.
If we get a similar backup for right back, Roberto can concentrate on being a substitute..
